Ophthalmologic manifestations commonly misdiagnosed as demyelinating events in multiple sclerosis patients

Abstract: Based on clinical history and some strategies of ophthalmologic examination, physicians can achieve the correct diagnosis. Some clinical situations, however, may be challenging and a multidisciplinary approach in the care of multiple sclerosis is warranted.

“…In addition to the problem, the underlying diseases themselves can also cause visual symptoms. For example, blurred vision may be due to optic neuritis, and diplopia may be associated with brainstem lesions in multiple sclerosis [32,33]. Uveitis and retinal phlebitis have been reported as retinal symptoms of multiple sclerosis [34] and may contribute to the difficult differential diagnosis of visual disturbances in a patient with multiple sclerosis and receiving interferon.…”

For example, blurred vision could be due to optical neuritis and diplopia may be related to brainstem lesions in multiple sclerosis (105,106) .

“…Nevertheless, the lack of recognition and categorization methods for autoimmune syndromes exhibiting clinical and molecular features common in other well characterized autoimmune illnesses has hampered diagnosis. As result, patients exhibiting characteristic overlapping clinical manifestations observed in different autoimmune syndromes are often misdiagnosed and go through years of clinical investigations and laboratory tests before obtaining the accurate diagnosis (Adsay et al, 2005;Simao, 2010;Niţescu et al, 2011;Quinkler, 2012;Bertsias et al, 2013;Pena et al, 2013).…”
